BACKGROUNDWith the continuous popularization of electronic devices, electronic devices have become indispensable social and entertainment tools in people's daily lives. People have increasingly higher requirements for electronic devices. Electronic devices such as earphones and smart glasses have been widely used in people's daily lives. These electronic devices can be used in conjunction with terminal devices such as mobile phones and computers to provide users with an auditory feast.
Traditional earphones usually include buttons for users to press and control the earphones. However, the arrangement of the buttons and structures related to the buttons may cause the earphones to have a relatively large size.
SUMMARYTo solve the above technical problem, one technical solution adopted in the present disclosure is to provide an earphone.

The core housing is provided with a button portion for pressing to trigger the button assembly.
In some embodiments, the earphone further includes a main control circuit board. The main control circuit board is stacked with the speaker assembly along a vibration direction of the main speaker. A main surface of the main control circuit board is arranged to face toward or away from the speaker assembly. The acoustic cavity bracket is arranged around the main speaker. The button assembly is supported by an outer circumferential surface of the acoustic cavity bracket and is electrically connected to the main control circuit board.

The third limiting part is located on a side of the supporting surface that supports the support plate. The third limiting part is configured to limit the support plate in a vertical direction of the supporting surface.
In some embodiments, a button hole is formed in the core housing. The button portion includes a cantilever beam, a button cap, and a soft filler. The cantilever beam, the soft filler, and the button cap are disposed in the button hole. The cantilever beam is integrally formed with the core housing. A fixed end of the cantilever beam is located at a hole edge of the button hole. The button cap is disposed at a free end of the cantilever beam. The soft filler is configured to fill a gap between an assembly of the cantilever beam and the button cap, and the hole edge of the button hole.
In some embodiments, the earphone further includes an ear hook. The core housing has a connection end connected to the ear hook and a free end away from the connection end. In a wearing state, the ear hook is hooked between an auricle and the head of a user. The core housing is located at a front side of the auricle. The free end at least partially covers or extends into a cavum conchae. The core housing has a longitudinal direction, a thickness direction, and a width direction orthogonal to each other. The longitudinal direction is a separation direction between the connection end and the free end. The thickness direction is a direction toward or away from the auricle in the wearing state.

The longitudinal direction is a separation direction between the connection end and the free end.
In some embodiments, a ratio of a projection area of the magnet assembly along a thickness direction of the core housing to a projection area of the main magnet of the main speaker along the thickness direction is in a range of 0.1 to 0.2. The thickness direction of the core housing is a direction of the core housing toward or away from the auricle of the user in the wearing state, and the thickness direction and the longitudinal direction are orthogonal to each other.
In some embodiments, the vibration direction of the main speaker and the longitudinal direction define a symmetry plane. The magnet assembly includes two magnets, and the two magnets are located on two sides of the symmetry plane and are symmetrically arranged relative to the symmetry plane.
Beneficial effects of the present disclosure are as follows. The earphone described in the present disclosure is provided with the main speaker, the acoustic cavity bracket, and the button assembly. The acoustic cavity bracket can cooperate with the main speaker to form the acoustic rear cavity, thereby ensuring a sound pickup effect of the main speaker. Meanwhile, the acoustic cavity bracket can support the button assembly. Therefore, functional reuse of the acoustic cavity bracket can be achieved. Furthermore, there is no need to additionally provide a support component to support and fix the button assembly. Consequently, space inside the earphone can be saved, the size of the earphone can be reduced, and space utilization can be improved.
In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. It is obvious that the drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, without creative efforts, shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
The term “embodiment” as used in the present disclosure means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. A person skilled in the art explicitly and implicitly understands that the embodiments described in the present disclosure may be combined with other embodiments.
The following provides an exemplary description of an earphone in an earphone embodiment.
With reference to
An earphone 1 is an audio converter. The earphone 1 is configured to receive an electrical signal from a media player or a receiver and convert the electrical signal into a sound wave that can be heard by a user. In some embodiments, the earphone 1 may be an open earphone, for example, an ear hook earphone, a behind-the-neck earphone, or an ear clip earphone.
As shown in
Further, different users may have individual differences, resulting in dimensional differences such as different shapes and sizes of the ear 100. For ease of description and to reduce or even eliminate individual differences of different users, a simulator including a head and ears 100 (left and right) may be manufactured based on ANSI: S3.36, S3.25 and IEC: 60318-7 standards, for example, GRAS 45BC KEMAR, HEAD Acoustics, B&K 4128 series, or B&K 5128 series, to present a scenario in which most users wear the earphone 1. Merely by way of example, using GRAS KEMAR as an example, the simulator for the ear 100 may be any one of GRAS 45AC, GRAS 45BC, GRAS 45CC, or GRAS 43AG. As another example, using HEAD Acoustics as an example, the simulator for the ear 100 may be any one of HMS II.3, HMS II.3 LN, or HMS II.3LN HEC. Therefore, in the present disclosure, descriptions such as “a user wears the earphone 1”, “the earphone 1 is in a wearing state”, and “in a wearing state” may mean that the earphone 1 described in the present disclosure is worn on the ear 100 of the simulator. Certainly, precisely because different users have individual differences, there may be some differences when the earphone 1 is worn by different users compared to when the earphone 1 is worn on the ear 100 of the simulator. However, such differences should be tolerated.
Merely by way of example, with reference to
The sound generating portion 20 may be a sound playback device. The sound generating portion 20 may be configured to convert the electrical signal into a sound signal and propagate the sound signal to the ear 100 of a wearer.
In some embodiments, a battery and/or a circuit board may be disposed in the ear hook 10. Certainly, the ear hook 10 may not be provided with the battery and/or the circuit board, and the battery and/or the circuit board may be installed in the sound generating portion 20.
Merely by way of example, in the earphone 1, the ear hook 10 may be replaced by other structures that can achieve wearing on the user's head, for example, a ribbon, a clip, a ring structure, a hat, a bracket, or a U-shaped structure, to achieve wearing of the sound generating portion 20. Certainly, in some embodiments, the ear hook 10 may be omitted.
In some embodiments, as shown in
Merely by way of example, the core housing 30, the speaker assembly 40, and the button assembly 50 may be disposed in the sound generating portion 20. The speaker assembly 40 refers to a component configured to convert the electrical signal into a corresponding sound signal, so that the sound generating portion 20 has a sound playback function. In some embodiments, the speaker assembly 40 may include a bone conduction speaker and an air conduction speaker. In some embodiments, the speaker assembly 40 may also be set as one of the air conduction speaker and the bone conduction speaker.
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, a button portion 310 is disposed on the core housing 30 for pressing to trigger the button assembly 50. The button portion 310 may be disposed corresponding to the button assembly 50.
Merely by way of example, the button portion 310 may be disposed on the core housing 30. A portion of the button portion 310 may be exposed on an outer surface of the core housing 30 for the user to press to trigger the button assembly 50.
In some embodiments, the button assembly 50 may be connected to other structures in the earphone 1. Specifically, after the button portion 310 triggers the button assembly 50, the button assembly 50 may generate a corresponding control signal. The earphone 1 may perform a corresponding action in response to the control signal. In some embodiments, the control signal generated by the button assembly 50 may be a switch signal, a volume control signal, or a song switching signal for controlling the speaker assembly 40, so that the earphone 1 can implement functions such as turning on or off, volume adjustment, or song switching.
In some embodiments, the main speaker 410 may be the air conduction speaker. As shown in
In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 412 may include a coil 4121 and a magnetic circuit system 4122. The magnetic circuit system 4122 is connected to the diaphragm 411. The diaphragm 411, the magnetic circuit system 4122, the acoustic cavity bracket 420, and the core housing 30 may together form the acoustic rear cavity 401. The coil 4121 and the magnetic circuit system 4122 may be configured to generate electromagnetic induction under control of the electrical signal, thereby driving the diaphragm 411 to vibrate, so that air in the acoustic front cavity 402 of the main speaker 410 vibrates to generate the sound wave, which is transmitted out of the earphone 1.
As shown in
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, the core housing 30 has a longitudinal direction, a thickness direction, and a width direction that are orthogonal to each other.
In some embodiments, the longitudinal direction is a separation direction between the connection end 340 and the free end 350. The separation direction between the connection end 340 and the free end 350 refers to a direction indicated by a line segment connecting the connection end 340 and the free end 350. In some embodiments, the connection end 340 and the free end 350 are irregular or regular arc-shaped. An extension direction of a line connecting the connection end 340 and the free end 350 refers to a direction defined by a straight line perpendicular to parallel tangent planes of two reference points, which are farthest apart from each other, on the connection end 340 and the free end 350. The longitudinal direction is also defined as a direction the core housing 30 toward or away from the back of the head in the wearing state. In other words, the longitudinal direction may be a direction indicated by an arrow X in
In some embodiments, the width direction is defined as a direction the core housing 30 toward or away from the top of the head in the wearing state. The width direction may be a direction indicated by an arrow Y in
In some embodiments, the thickness direction of the core housing 30 is a direction toward or away from the auricle 103 in the wearing state. The thickness direction may be a direction indicated by an arrow Z in
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some other embodiments, a plurality of button portions 310 are provided. A plurality of button assemblies 50 are also provided and correspond one-to-one with the button portions 310. For example, two button portions 310 are provided. The two button portions 310 are disposed on the first side wall 360 and the second side wall 370, respectively. Two button assemblies 50 are also provided. The two button assemblies 50 correspond one-to-one with the two button portions 310.
In some embodiments, as shown in
The main control circuit board 60 refers to a control core part inside the earphone 1. The main control circuit board 60 may be a circuit board such as a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) or a Flexible Printed Circuit board (FPC). The main surface of the main control circuit board 60 refers to a working surface for mounting components such as chips and connecting wires.
In some embodiments, the button assembly 50 is electrically connected to the circuit on the main surface of the main control circuit board 60 via a wire. In some other embodiments, the button assembly 50 is electrically connected to the main control circuit board 60 via an electrical connection member such as a flexible circuit board or an auxiliary PCB circuit board.
In some embodiments, the main surface of the main control circuit board 60 is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to an axial direction of the main speaker 410. Substantially perpendicular refers that a spatial angle between the two directions is between 75° and 105°.
In some embodiments, the vibration direction of the main speaker 410 is the axial direction of the main speaker 410. The main control circuit board 60 may be stacked with the main speaker 410 along the axial direction of the main speaker 410. The acoustic cavity bracket 420 may surround the main speaker 410 along a radial direction of the main speaker 410. Therefore, the acoustic cavity bracket 420 and the main control circuit board 60 are also spaced apart along the axial direction of the main speaker 410.
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, the axial direction of the acoustic cavity bracket 420 is parallel or substantially parallel to the axial direction of the main speaker 410. Substantially parallel refers to a spatial angle between the two directions that is in a range of 0° to 5°. This arrangement makes structures of the acoustic cavity bracket 420, the main speaker 410, and the main control circuit board 60 more compact and further improves the space utilization of the core housing 30.
In some embodiments, as shown in
The main surface of the support plate 510 refers to a surface of the support plate 510 for mounting the button body 520. In some embodiments, the support plate 510 may be plate-shaped. The main surface of the support plate 510 is a side surface with the largest area. In some embodiments, the support plate 510 may be a support structure with a stepped surface. At least a part of the main surface is planar. In some embodiments, the support plate 510 may be a support structure that is overall arc-shaped and the main surface may be planar. The support plate 510 may extend in a direction of a plane where the main surface of the support plate 510 is located. This arrangement makes the structure of the support plate 510 more adaptable to the shape of the acoustic cavity bracket 420, thereby increasing the space utilization of the core housing 30.
The axial direction of the acoustic cavity bracket 420 may be indicated by an arrow B in
If the angle between the main surface of the support plate 510 away from the acoustic cavity bracket 420 and the axial direction of the acoustic cavity bracket 420 is greater than 10°, the support plate 510 is tilted to a large degree relative to the axial direction of the acoustic cavity bracket 420, result in that the support plate 510 occupies a large space and a size of the core housing 30 in the width direction Y increases. Moreover, an overly tilted arrangement of the support plate 510 relative to the acoustic cavity bracket 420 makes it difficult to install the support plate 510 on the outer circumferential surface of the acoustic cavity bracket 420, thereby increasing the installation difficulty of the support plate 510 on the acoustic cavity bracket 420.
Therefore, setting the angle α in the range of 0° to 10° makes the main surface of the support plate 510 away from the acoustic cavity bracket 420 parallel or nearly parallel to the axial direction of the acoustic cavity bracket 420, thereby reducing space occupied by the support plate 510 in the axial direction of the acoustic cavity bracket 420, improving the space utilization. This also facilitates the installation of the support plate 510 on the outer circumferential surface of the acoustic cavity bracket 420.
In some embodiments, the main surface of the support plate 510 away from the acoustic cavity bracket 420 is arranged perpendicular to the main surface of the main control circuit board 60 facing toward or away from the speaker assembly 40, or an angle between the main surface of the support plate 510 and the main surface of the main control circuit board 60 is in a range of 80° to 90°.
Merely by way of example, the main surface of the main control circuit board 60 is indicated by a plane SF in
If the angle β is less than 80° or greater than 90°, the support plate 510 is tilted to a large degree relative to the main control circuit board 60, result in that the support plate 510 occupies a large space in a direction parallel to the main surface of the main control circuit board 60, thereby increasing a size of the core housing 30 in such direction. When the angle β is equal to 90°, the main surface of the support plate 510 is perpendicular to the main surface of the main control circuit board 60.
Therefore, setting the angle between the main surface of the support plate 510 and the main surface of the main control circuit board 60 in the range of 80° to 90° allows the main surface of the support plate 510 to be perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to the main surface of the main control circuit board 60. This arrangement reduces the space occupied by the support plate 510 in the direction parallel to the main surface of the main control circuit board 60, thereby improving space utilization. In some embodiments, both the support plate 510 and the main control circuit board 60 may have a plate-like design. Therefore, the support plate 510 and the main control circuit board 60 may also be arranged to be perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to each other.
In some embodiments, as shown in
Merely by way of example, the provision of the supporting surface 421 facilitates better support of the support plate 510 on the acoustic cavity bracket 420. The limiting mechanism 422 may be provided on the supporting surface 421 or around the supporting surface 421 to limit the support plate 510, thereby preventing movement of the support plate 510 and the button assembly 50 as much as possible. This improves the structural stability of earphone 1 and can help avoid poor triggering of the button assembly 50.
In some other embodiments, an adhesive medium may be directly added between the main surface of the support plate 510 and the supporting surface 421. The adhesive medium is used to bond the support plate 510 and the supporting surface 421, thereby fixing and limiting the button assembly 50 on the supporting surface 421 without the need to provide the limiting mechanism 422. The adhesive medium may be glue, double-sided tape, or other substances with a certain adhesive force.
Alternatively, in other embodiments, the main surface of the support plate 510 and the supporting surface 421 may also be fixed to each other by welding, snap-fitting, screwing, etc., which will not be exhaustively enumerated in this embodiment.
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, the first limiting part 4221 may protrude relative to the supporting surface 421. The first limiting part 4221 and the main control circuit board 60 may be arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the main speaker 410. The side of the support plate 510 away from the main control circuit board 60 may abut against the first limiting part 4221.
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, the pressing block 70 may be an elastic element, such as a spring or a foam block. The pressing block 70 may be fixedly connected to the main control circuit board 60 by adhesion, screwing, sealing connection, etc. The first plate edge 511 of the support plate 510 is pressed against an end of the pressing block 70 away from the main control circuit board 60, so that the pressing block 70 limits the support plate 510 in a direction opposite to the first direction C. The provision of the elastic pressing block 70 facilitates the flexible installation of the support plate 510 and the button assembly 50 on the acoustic cavity bracket 420, reducing the assembly difficulty of the support plate 510 and the requirement for assembly precision.
The pressing block 70 and the first limiting part 4221 may be arranged at intervals along the first direction C. The pressing block 70 and the first limiting part 4221 act together on the support plate 510 to limit the support plate 510 in the first direction C and the direction opposite to the first direction C, so that the support plate 510 is less likely to slid along the first direction C and the opposite direction and detach from the supporting surface 421, thereby fixing the button assembly 50 in the first direction C and the opposite direction of the first direction C, improving the structural stability inside the core housing 30 and avoiding poor triggering.
In some embodiments, as shown in
Merely by way of example, the limiting mechanism includes two second limiting parts 4222, the two second limiting parts are arranged at intervals along the second direction spaced apart along the second direction D, and the support plate 510 is located between the two second limiting parts 4222. As shown in
Merely by way of example, as shown in
Merely by way of example, the limiting mechanism includes two second limiting parts 4222. The two second limiting parts are arranged at intervals along the second direction D. The support plate 510 is located between the two second limiting parts 4222. Meanwhile, the support plate 510 may include the main body portion 513 and the hook-shaped portion 514 connected to the main body portion 513. The main body portion 513 may be supported by the supporting surface 421. The button body 520 may be disposed on the main body portion 513. The hook-shaped portion 514 may be hooked on a side of the second limiting part 4222 away from the supporting surface 421. This arrangement can further prevent the support plate 510 and the button assembly 50 from sliding in the second direction D.
In some embodiments, as shown in
Merely by way of example, the third limiting part 4223 may be connected to the first limiting part 4221 and be perpendicular to the first limiting part 4221.
Merely by way of example, the third limiting part 4223 may extend from a top end of the first limiting part 4221 in a direction away from the first direction C. The third limiting part 4223, together with the first limiting part 4221 and the supporting surface 421, may form a mounting groove 4224. The first plate edge 511 of the support plate 510 is disposed in the mounting groove 4224. The third limiting part 4223 and the supporting surface 421 limit the support plate 510 in a direction perpendicular to the supporting surface 421, to fix the support plate 510 on the supporting surface 421, making it difficult for the support plate 510 to slide and detach along a direction perpendicular to the supporting surface 421, thereby further stabilizing the support plate 510, improving the structural compactness between the acoustic cavity bracket 420 and the support plate 510, and ensuring the triggering sensitivity of the button assembly 50.
In some embodiments, as shown in
By providing the limiting mechanism 422 and the pressing block 70, degrees of freedom of the support plate 510 in the first direction C, the second direction D, and a direction perpendicular to the supporting surface 421 (which are mutually orthogonal) can be constrained. The first direction C, the second direction D, and the direction perpendicular to the supporting surface 421 are mutually orthogonal. This restriction prevents the support plate 510 from loosening or detaching from the supporting surface 421 in the first direction C, the direction opposite to the first direction C, the second direction D, and the direction perpendicular to the supporting surface 421. As a result, the button assembly 50 is fixed to the supporting surface 421 by the limiting mechanism 422, thereby improving structural compactness and firmness of the core housing 30, and avoiding triggering failures of the button assembly 50 caused by shaking of the support plate 510.
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, the soft filler 313 may be an elastic element such as silica gel or rubber. Specifically, the soft filler 313 may be fixed to a side of the cantilever beam 311 away from the interior of the core housing 30. The setting of the soft filler 313 can prevent external impurities, such as liquid, dust, and metal particles, from easily entering the core housing 30 through the button hole 380 and damaging components inside the core housing 30, thereby further improving stability and safety inside the core housing 30.
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, a polarization direction of the magnet assembly 80 is the same as a polarization direction of a main magnet 413 of the main speaker 410. The main magnet 413 may be disposed in the main speaker 410. The main magnet 413 refers to a magnet element that mainly provides a magnetic field in the main speaker 410. A position of the main magnet 413 may be found in
Setting the polarization direction of the magnet assembly 80 to be the same as the polarization direction of the main magnet 413 of the main speaker 410 enables the magnet assembly 80 and the main magnet 413 to collectively attract the earphone 1 to the corresponding charging case or other charging device. This enhances the overall magnetic attraction of the earphone 1, ensures stable adsorption of the earphone 1 to the charging case or other charging device, and ensures a charging effect.
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, with reference to
In some embodiments, a ratio of a projection area of the magnet assembly 80 along the thickness direction Z of the core housing 30 to a projection area of the main magnet 413 of the main speaker 410 along the thickness direction Z may be in a range of 0.1 to 0.2.
If the ratio of the projection area of the magnet assembly 80 along the thickness direction Z of the core housing 30 to the projection area of the main magnet 413 along the thickness direction Z is less than 0.1, it indicates that the magnet assembly 80 has a small area and cannot provide sufficient magnetic attraction to stably adsorb the earphone 1 to the charging case or other charging device. If the ratio of the projection area of the magnet assembly 80 along the thickness direction Z of the core housing 30 to the projection area of the main magnet 413 along the thickness direction Z is greater than 0.2, it indicates that the magnet assembly 80 is large. In this case, the magnetic field formed by the magnet assembly 80 is relatively strong. Since the polarization direction of the magnet assembly 80 is the same as the polarization direction of the main magnet 413, an excessively strong magnetic field of the magnet assembly 80 significantly affects the magnetic field of the main magnet 413, affecting the sound quality of the main speaker 410.
Therefore, setting the ratio of the projection area of the magnet assembly 80 along the thickness direction Z of the core housing 30 to the projection area of the main magnet 413 along the thickness direction Z in the range of 0.1 to 0.2 enables the magnet assembly 80 to have sufficient magnetic attraction to enhance magnetic attraction of the earphone 1 for adsorption to the charging case or other charging device. Moreover, when the polarization direction of the magnet assembly 80 is the same as the polarization direction of the main magnet 413, the magnet assembly 80 does not significantly affect the magnetic field of the main magnet 413, thereby ensuring sound quality of the main speaker 410.
Merely by way of example, the ratio of the projection area of the magnet assembly 80 along the thickness direction Z of the core housing 30 to the projection area of the main magnet 413 along the thickness direction Z is 0.1, 0.13, 0.16, 0.18, and 0.2.
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, as shown in
Specifically, the two magnets 810 are symmetrically arranged along the symmetry plane SG to balance the magnetic field of the main magnet 413. This reduces total magnetic field deviation caused by a single magnet 810, which causes non-linearity of the magnetic field of the main magnet 413, resulting in distortion of the main speaker 410 and affecting the sound quality of the earphone 1.
In summary, the earphone 1 of the present disclosure includes the main speaker 410, the acoustic cavity bracket 420, and the button assembly 50. The acoustic cavity bracket 420 cooperates with the main speaker 410 to form the acoustic rear cavity 401, thereby ensuring the sound pickup effect of the main speaker 410. Meanwhile, the acoustic cavity bracket 420 supports the button assembly 50, thereby enabling functional reuse of the acoustic cavity bracket 420. Additionally, there is no need to provide an additional support component to support and fix the button assembly 50, thereby saving internal space of the earphone 1, reducing the size of the earphone 1, and improving space utilization.
